The Medicare open enrollment process can be confusing, so Mercy is offering two free events in October to help answer questions about insurance and other senior health topics.
Aging Well Senior Health Fairs will be from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Oct. 11 at Immaculate Conception Church, 22 N. 13th St. in Fort Smith, and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Oct. 18 at Bentonville Community Center, 1101 S.W. Citizens Circle in Bentonville.
The health fairs will be held during Medicare open enrollment, which begins Oct. 15 and ends Dec. 7. The events are open to all who are or soon will be eligible for Medicare, and will include information on contracted Medicare Advantage plans, Mercy providers and services, and community resources. Participants will be able to enroll in a Medicare product if they choose.
“Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about Mercy service lines, community health partners, Medicare Advantage Plans and traditional Medicare,” said from Kevin Moran, Mercy’s director of payor relations and contracting in Arkansas. “There are a lot of options for people eligible for Medicare.”
Participants are encouraged to sign up for the Fort Smith or Bentonville events. For more information, contact Denise Tanner at denise.tanner@mercy.net or (479) 314-4734.
